“Championships don't just happen.”

These pages reveal that a special kind of leadership, deployed at all levels, made the difference. Enjoy Bochy Ball.

I was struck at how similar Bruce Bochy’s work managing the storied San Francisco Giants is to a film director.

He operates in the foreground by staying in the background, he listens more than he talks, he never draws out a great performance but makes the conditions possible for one to emerge. He puts the necessary puzzle pieces together but the success belongs to the team alone.

Francis Ford Coppola

I love baseball…

I love the San Francisco Giants. I love Bruce Bochy and I love this book!

“If you want to build a celebrated culture and a strong, enduring brand, read Bochy Ball.”

Chip Bergh,
President and CEO, Levi Strauss & Co.

A business book on a baseball franchise—an inspiring tale of the remarkable results possible when a team chooses service over self-interest and plays for something larger than themselves.

If you’re a CEO who believes that success is built on great leadership, dive into this entertaining and actionable case study. What the San Francisco Giants have accomplished, from the front office to the field, is truly extraordinary.

The Freibergs put the emphasis right where it should be—on how they make “ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE” a driving force people are passionate about; not empty spin.

This practical and entertaining book is not only for coaches, athletes and sports fanatics, but also for business leaders who aspire to bring a whole new level of positive energy to their organization and create deeper bonds within the team and within the community.

This book is so good that even a Los Angeles Dodgers fan will love it.

Bruce Bochy’s three World Series rings give him insight and credibility that few leaders possess. In BOCHY BALL, you’ll learn how to apply his wisdom – a maniacal drive to win coupled with a deep sense of humility and community – well beyond the baseball diamond.

If you believe that character counts, culture matters and team chemistry is one of the great differentiators, don’t miss this book!

I’m a raving fan of Bruce Bochy and the Giants organization is world-class. Since he took over in San Francisco, he’s been able to show us the lessons about winning and losing in a way that is helpful to anyone, no matter what kind of enterprise you lead.

There is only one Bruce Bochy! He just might be the most respected manager in the game—ever.

Players come and go but they all love playing for him.Three different teams, three World Championships. Bruce is the link and in this detailed account of great leadership, Kevin and Jackie Freiberg show you why.

Kevin and Jackie Freiberg give great insight into a classic baseball man who sets a powerful example for all those who aspire to lead.

With unflappability and quiet confidence, Bruce created a culture in San Francisco that consistently allowed his teams to rise to the occasion when it counted most.

Hall of Famer Joe Torre

Bochy Ball provides all of us a championship learning experience that translates wherever competitive challenges exist!

Long before Bruce managed three World Series Championships, his peers recognized that he belonged in the conversation with MLB’s greatest managers ever! Those titles keep adding to his credentials.

Chemistry is one of the hardest things to get right, but the San Francisco Giants and Bruce Bochy obviously cracked the code.

In a game that is increasingly driven by analytics, the Giants haven’t forgotten that players are real people, not robots or statistics on a spreadsheet. Using Bochy’s no-BS approach, Kevin and Jackie Freiberg show you how to find your own “championship blood” and inspire it in others..

Bochy Ball should be read by every would-be, emerging, and contemporary leader, and it would be a shame if it ends up only in the hands of sports enthusiasts.

This book is more than just a baseball book about a celebrity sports personality. It broadens the San Francisco Giants experience to a more fundamental issue—what great leadership looks like.
